in certain lights, and along the extreme edge of the wing is 

 placed, here and there, a single, small, snow-white, scale-like 

 hair. 



Length 1| millim. 



Described from a unique female in the Indian Museum collection, 

 taken by Dr. Annandale in Calcutta, 5. viii. 07. 



The example is apparently a female, as no trace of a genital 

 appendage is visible ; but from the manner in which the specimen 

 is mounted, it is very difficult to see the body and legs.

5 . Near P. squamipennis and P. argenteopunctata. The wings 

 are entirely clothed on the surface as well as the veins with soft 

 black hairs, more or less longitudinally placed on the basal half 

 of the upperside, and the whole surface of the lower side of the 

 wing is covered with brown or blackish short thick scales, which 

 in certain lights appear partly iridescent on at least the underside. 

 They also appear, viewed from different points, silky black or dull 

 greyish white. At the tip of each vein is a small bunch of snow- 

 white, moderately long, scale-like hairs, placed on the absolute edge

of the wing, almost in the adjacent fringe. The legs are almost 

 wholly black, with a few small white scales at the tip of the tibiae 

 and (at least on the hind pair) a few at the tip of the metatarsus 

 and succeeding joint. The species is coal-black. 



Lenqth 1| millim. 



Described from a perfect unique female in the Indian Museum, 

 taken on the window of that building by Dr. Annandale, 22. vii. 08 

 (type), and some specimens taken by Mr. E. E. Green at Peradeniya, 

 Ceylon, 18. vii., 14. viii., and x. 1910, also in the same collection. 



A specimen in the Indian Museum, unfortunately in too bad 

 condition to describe, certainly represents an undescribed species
